Following.

Before it was full dawn, the four of them came down from upstairs when they ran to the hall.

At this time, the seats on the first floor of the inn were already sitting a lot of merchants who got up early and hurried away.

Ran Tang led the four of them to sit in the window position: "As long as you live in the hotel, our Tianxing Inn will give you a free breakfast." It's never too late for you to leave, breakfast will be there later!"

Outside the window, there are already vehicles coming and going on the official road.

Soon, the shopkeeper put breakfast in front of the four of them.

Two buns per person, a bowl of white porridge, and a plate of small green vegetables.

It's a little simpler, but it's free, so it's not a big deal.

The four of them thanked the little brother who served the meal, and they started eating.

The group at the next table was well-dressed, and their voices were not much louder than others.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was heartbroken by the death of the Crown Princess and had fallen ill. A middle-aged man with a red face said loudly: "To tell you the truth, I was fortunate to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who is still a tea merchant, in the inn a few years ago. ”

Li Dabeard put down the porridge in his hand and turned his head to look at Li Jinhua.

Li Jinhua frowned and looked at the middle-aged man who was talking.

Li Dabeard smiled slightly: "Do you really believe it?"

Li Jinhua hurriedly retracted his gaze and shook his head: "Don't believe it!"

The man at the next table continued: "I'll tell you! I'm from the capital this time! Do you know? Princess, no, now I should be called the princess of the country! His Royal Highness the prince asks His Majesty to posthumously seal the mother and daughter. ”

"Who doesn't know this!" A man in brown silk clothes said with a smile: "It's not new! I also heard that since the crown princess was killed, people with ulterior motives are still spreading rumors in Kaifeng that His Royal Highness the prince loves men! The old man of the pavilion personally came forward, and finally caught a few rumors, and only then did he stop the rumors. ”

"What, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince loves men?" a red-faced man shouted, "This lie is too outrageous!"

"That's it! I've seen His Royal Highness the Prince! Is there anyone more manly than him? He likes men!

"Eighty percent of them did it by those county kings of His Royal Highness the red-eyed prince!" another man in black silk smacked his lips and said, "Are there still few things that they have framed His Highness?! What can't be on the table just can't be on the table." Fortunately, the emperor is wise!"

The middle-aged man with a red face saw that everyone had robbed him of his words, and hurriedly raised his voice: "What I told you is the latest! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still in Qucheng! I heard that I haven't eaten for several days." ”

The man in the brown silk coat hurriedly continued: "Impossible! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince only broke the Chu army in Yanggu a few days ago. I heard that the Chu army fled back to Chu yesterday, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was born in the army, so how could he go on a hunger strike! Besides, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was also from the same bitter background as us in the past, how could such a tough person go on a hunger strike!"

The middle-aged man with a red face said hurriedly: "I didn't say that Your Highness is on a hunger strike! I said that I didn't eat! Since ancient times, heroes have been sad about the beauty pass! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in his youth, and it is not impossible for the Crown Princess to die, it is not impossible to get sick!"

Seeing that several silk merchants at this table were about to quarrel, people from the other tables had already stood up.

An old man in a black silk robe said loudly: "Wu Shiyou, what are you talking nonsense behind your back! Who is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? That is the Lord who has the heart of the world! How can he not eat or drink for the sake of a woman!"

"Oops!" The middle-aged man with a red face hurriedly got up and said to the old man: "Shiyou has seen Mr. Zhu! Your old man is not enjoying happiness in Kaifeng, so you have to compete with our juniors!

"What do you say!" The old man's voice was a little higher: "I can't go on this business road?"

"If you can't go, then no one can go!" Wu Shiyou laughed with him: "When you and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince walked this business road, Shiyou was still a poor boy with nothing! What Shiyou means is that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always given you a shop in Kaifeng? Why do you always suffer from this long journey. ”

"Then you Wu Shiyou's shop in Kaifengpan is no less decrepit than the old man, and you are a beautiful wife and concubine, why did you come here to suffer?"

"Hahaha......" Wu Shiyou laughed loudly: "What Mr. Zhu taught us is that we businessmen will be offended! If we don't suffer crimes, why should we earn more than others! Oh! The sun is out! We are about to set off! Old Mr. Zhu wants to be together!"

"Go first!" the old man sat down again.

As soon as Wu Shiyou left, the hall fell silent again. But listening carefully, everyone was still talking about the topic that Wu Shiyou said.

The audience opened and closed their mouths to His Royal Highness the Prince, and Li Dabeard looked at Li Jinhua: "Let's go!"

The four of them got up.

Over there, Mr. Zhu also got up and walked out.

Li Jinhua walked a few steps quickly to Mr. Zhu's side and arched his hand: "The old gentleman is from Kaifeng!"

Old Mr. Zhu saw a junior with a black and yellow face saluting respectfully, and stopped and smiled: "Yes, young man, what do you want to ask?"

"Old man!" Li Jinhua accompanied the smiling face: "The junior Li Jinhua is from Wu Yue." The Li family has been engaged in weaving for generations, and has the intention to sell Wu Yue's silk cloth in Mobei and Kaifeng. If the old gentleman doesn't dislike it, let's go together, and the younger generation wants to ask the old gentleman for some advice. ”

"Wu Yue's silk!" Mr. Zhu looked Li Jinhua up and down again: "That's a good thing! It's just that the old man doesn't know much about cloth!"

"Old man!" Li Jinhua said with a smile: "I know a lot about this business road leading to Mobei, are you willing to show us the way?"

"It's not that difficult!!" Mr. Zhu said and strode out of the inn.

At this moment, the morning sun has spread all over the earth.

The vehicles of Wu Shiyou and the others had already driven far away.

It was a coincidence that Mr. Zhu's car and the four-person carriage were parked together.

Mr. Zhu rode in a single pony carriage, followed by two large carriages covered with black cloth. After many days of driving, the black cloth has been covered with a fine layer of ash. He was accompanied by more than a dozen young men in their early twenties.

Mr. Zhu's car went on the official road first, and the two big cars also followed.

After Boss Li and Li Qingyun got into the carriage, Li Jinhua and Li Dabeard sat in the driver's seat again.

After sitting down, Li Dabeard pulled Li Jinhua's sleeve: "Your big housekeeper also knows the way!"

Li Jinhua squinted and smiled: "Isn't it good to have multiple partners on the road?"

Li Dabeard pouted: "If you're worried about him, just say it! Why don't we go back?"

"No!" Li Jinhua shook the reins, and the horse slowly ran away.

Li Dabeard smiled sullenly: "Okay! I'll see how hard your mouth is!"

Li Jinhua didn't answer, shook the reins of the horse and drove the horse to the official road, and followed Mr. Zhu's cart away.
